摘要
话题导入这是一篇由美国作家Bob Greene所写的夹叙夹议的杂文。作者以一个旁观者的身份,讲述了一对黑人父子在周六的早晨以乘坐机场免费往返接送车为乐的故事。故事通过对父子的描写,展现出了一个对儿子充满着关爱,给予儿子恰当教育和适时陪伴的父亲的形象。同时,这与漠然、冰冷的环境和周围忙忙碌碌、毫无表情的乘客形成了鲜明的对比。这引发了作者对当今美国社会中存在的教育问题的思考和担忧。
Passing through the Atlanta airport one morning, I caught one of those trains that take travelers from the main terminal to their board-ing gates. Free, sterile and impersonal, the trains run back and forth all day long. Not many people consider them fun, but on this Saturday I heard laughter.
